Express Entry Step by step instructions.

Newbie Query.

While filling my PR application post ITA, in the Address History it says don't leave any gaps.

Do they want me to account every day? e.g. let's say I stay in NYC but went to Chicago for 4 days, LA for 3 months, stayed in Vegas hotel for 3 days. Or do they just want the "base" i.e. NYC

Also in my previous job during 2007. I traveled to different cities within India on projects. The accommodation was usually a hotel or a guest house booked by my company I don't remember those addresses or dates. However, my Base location/Home/ Mailing Address was Delhi which never changed.

Which one should I put in?

Same goes for my international projects? I already captured it during my Travel History

Hi,

Only put your long term/fixed addresses. Base, as you have put it.

Regards

just call cic and ask for the no code they recommend.. people call them and ask when they are not sure.

Thanks so much.
I just can't find any NOC in which duties listed matches mine...
Mine was to verify bank documents, perform interviews through telephone to find out applicant's travel motifs, to call applicant and ask for additional documents... whenever visa officer has a concern, I contact the applicants for them...

Just don't want to wait for another 3 months in EE pool, who knows what changes would occur...

Hey people..just want to confirm with the digital photo..i shud not worry about the back of the photograph at this stage right?

 

[abzoo17]

Could some clarify the photo requirement..CIC website says the photo should be 50mm x 70mm and when I go to upload the photo it says 35mm x 45 mm. Which one should I follow. Also I scanned by photo and the size is only 25 kb...and the checklist says it should ideally be 240kb and not less than 60kb...so i will have to get that fixed. Would anyone know how can this be done? @TanakaM, @crescent_jam

There are 2 photograph requests. The first is for the picture you scan and upload in eAPR. Follow these instructions:

Frame size

• The final frame size of the photo must be at least 35mm x 45mm.
• The photographs must show a full front view of the head and tops of shoulders, with the face in the middle of the photograph.
• The size of the head, from chin to crown, must be between 31mm and 36mm.
• Digital dimensions are often expressed in pixels or DPI (dots per inch). The physical dimensions in pixels must be at least 420 x 540.

Quality/resolution

If an existing photo is being scanned, the minimum resolution must be 600 pixels per inch.

File format

• The file may be submitted in JPEG or JPEG2000 format.
• The final size of the image should ideally be 240 kB (kilobytes), but not less than 60 kB.
• The image must be in colour (24 bits per pixel) in RGB colour space, which is the common output for most digital cameras.

Request 2, is the one which needs to be taken by a professional photographer. You get it with PPR and you send hard copies together with your passport. Follow these instructions:

ah ok...i got photos which are 50 mm x 70 mm as I had taken the print out of the specifications. Will have to go and get new photos which are 35 mm x 45 mm...this is so confusing..

Correct. They dont need it.

No,you don't need new ones because it says at least 35mm * 45 mm. So just upload the one you have.

Hi,
I have a sibling, who is a permanent resident of Canada. In Pre-ITA express entry application, I did not mention about my sister since I was under the impression that my sister was still under work permit. Now I know that she is a permanent resident of Canada, so I have updated the Family section in Personal Information accordingly. However, I do not want to claim the points for my sister because I am unable to arrange the required documents from her.

Can you please suggest how should I go about this?

Thanks
